    • 10. Regulators by Warren G feat. Nate Dogg
      This song is the perfect example of early 90's hip hop.
    • 9. California Love by Dr. Dre feat. Tupac
      This song was one of the best rap collaborations ever put together.
    • 8. Pretty Fly For A White Guy by Offspring
      Everybody has heard this song
    • 7. All For You by Sister Hazel
      This is one of those songs that gets stuck in your head real bad.

      This song was just awesome
    • 5. One Week by Barenaked ladies
      Bad song, awesome
    • 4. Amazed by Lonestar
      Just one of the better slow songs of the late 90's.

      This has to be one of the best covers of an 80's song.
    • 2. Loser by Beck
      This is just such an odd song that it rocks!
    • 1. Shook Me All Night Long by AC/DC

    By: Deb
    • 10. I Will Always Love You by Whitney Houston
      Isn't it on the best selling soundtrack of all time?
    • 9. Special by Garbage
      Another rock to pop cross-over
    • 8. Celebrity Skin by Hole
      Courtney finally got her act together
    • 7. Walking in Memphis by Cher
      This might be an 80's tune, but I love it.
    • 6. We Are the Champions by Queen
      No questions asked. It's gonna rock you.
    • 5. Nightswimming by REM
      Don't know if you've heard it, but it's got a gorgeous harmony.

      So Pretty
    • 2. November Rain by Guns N Roses
      How can you not put it on a top ten list?
    • 1. Save the Best for Last by Vanessa Williams
      Gorgeous song, plus it's on the Priscilla: Queen of the desert Soundtrack.


    By: Paul Nolan
    • 10. Power Of A Woman by Eternal
      From the golden days of Eternal. Things kinda went to hell when Kelle left, didn't they?
    • 9. Pray by Tina Cousins
      OK, so it's Hit Factory-produced cheese, but it's catchy and one of Tina's best.
    • 8. Wannabe by Spice Girls
      Another of those songs you get up on the podium and drunkenly lip-synch with your mates. I couldn't really stand the Spice Girls, but this was a great song in that it's catchy and it got them noticed straight away.
    • 7. Just A Little Bit by Gina G
      Mwahahahahahaha! Our best entry for Eurovision in the whole decade (if not ever). So great the intro is my mobile's ring!
    • 6. Drop Dead Gorgeous by Republica
      (this list gets more eclectic as I go on, but i guess that's my music collection for you)
    • 5. Queen of the Night by Whitney Houston
      One of my all-time anthems. Perfect for a good old-fashioned lip-synch on the podium at my fave club.
    • 4. Tragedy by Steps
      *list instantly loses what little credibility it had but author couldn't care less* No matter how much you slag Steps off you can't help but admit they are holding their own and there must be something about them to have kept going so long.
    • 3. Better The Devil You Know by Kylie Minogue
      Although I love Steps, they just didn't do this song justice with that half-baked cover. Kylie is totally FAB!
    • 2. No Scrubs by TLC
      Yay! Let's bitch about men! TLC do this so well, don't they?
    • 1. Total Eclipse Of The Heart by Nicki French
      The best version ever of the best song ever. If the 90s had to exist for a reason, this is it. (ok, that was a /bit/ hyperbolic, wasn't it?)

    These lists are very hard to make, aren't they? You start with a load of songs and you end up not being able to think up enough for the list (but then again, it is the 90s - there was much more in the 80s, wasn't there?)
